What’s bugs are you seeing? I’ve been testing it with Mike for a few weeks and I haven’t seen anything but maybe I’m too close to it and can’t see it.

But I’m happy to share with Mike any issues/bugs.

Bugs?

All horses are tagged "COLTS "

I have tried viewer on 3 different browsers now, all are very choppy, Chrome is the best and smoothest but still choppy. The phone app is excellent and works well.

The camera control is very touchy and by the time you adjust camera angle to what you want or need the race is almost over! Unity has 3 icon buttons (beside any angle you want as with new sim viewer) that set camera views from behind, far shot from side or front view looking back all at the perfect height this saves a lot of adjusting and time so you can enjoy the race.

Personal silks and jockey : I know Mike is working on this and will fix it ! But one of the reason the 3D viewer is better then the 2D viewer is you can tell your horse from the others Because of the Silks (most of the better players have personal silks) and you can also tell what stables and owners you are racing against. Which comes in very handy when you are competitive not only in racing but in breeding also. It is also helpful getting to know the others in this game. Since I have made my own silks I get a lot of members contacting me and have made a few good friends.

I would love to see the "Track Record & world record " for each race posted on the race preview page and finale time of winner posted on finish page and if the horse breaks the record for it to be highlighted somehow on the finish page.

Also on finish page the speed Rating and the complete order of each horse in race such as in Unity ( I know you can get that info. from other places but it would be nice not to bounce around so much).

Please dont get me wrong Im not complaining and its a great job and I know a lot of work. I do believe it will grow the Game and should bring on many new players in time. We all know that this is not a game for everybody and if you dont know anything about the sport of kings can be very complicated BUT that is also the reason so many of us love the game.

The pay for view so many are crying about is a non valid point as I said in the forum " If you are not spending at least $5 a week on credits, The viewer is not the problem,"

Ok thanks! I will share with Mike.

For the choppiness, I don't see any of that on desktop, and based on the some do/some don't posts on the main MB I would guess this comes down to a computer performance issue vs a viewer issue. Same goes for those that can't "see" the viewer.

Ok, I'll pass it along.

My $.02...

Windows 7 is no longer a supported OS, so I would guess that it will never work in that environment.

Never heard of Pale Moon myself, but Mike said the viewer was built to be compatible on all major browsers, so who knows.

Pale Moon was one of the few that Unity worked on and im sure the new viewer will not work with windows 7 I'm using windows 10
Tom
checked out Pale Moon .....it will not read
try "Maxthron" works on that if you need too. But Chrome is the best by far or the fastest

Didn't expect it to work on windows 7 was just trying out of curiosity. I prefer like Jubal using Chrome on laptop.
Windows 7 is what I use for all my web pages that I do and believe it or not excel 2002 and frontpage both are ancient but what I'm used to.
For some reason windows 10 and later versions of excel is not as good for copy and paste, It's maybe just me what I'm used to.
I use my laptop windows 10 for everything else.
